To the dog owners in Curtis Park in Ball who walk their dogs after dark and let them do their business on other people's lawns — why don't you walk them in the daylight so we can see you and confront you about it?

If we don't have a dog, why would we want to walk in dog mess when working in or cleaning our lawn?

Respect, respect, respect!

Make a new year's resolution to respect others lawns.

Value of hate

It has been said, and people generally agree, that there are some people who will never be happy until they have someone or thing to hate. I'm sure we all can agree that its a flaw, a character defect. What whole creature would need to hate to feel complete?

If you demonize something you give license to hate. If someone isn't happy unless they have someone or thing to hate, that power you can harness to serve your goals.

Lindsey Graham said Republicans weren't "manufacturing enough angry white men." What might the manufacturer of angry white men entail? Demonizing blacks and immigrants and gays and whores and welfare queens and liberals might do it.

The arc of history bends toward Liberalism. How can the manufacture of angry white guys in a nation of immigrants possibly be congruent with the flow of history? What noble purpose begins and depends on manufacturing angry white men? What moral human can support those that practice it?

Political correctness

Political correctness is getting people killed. We do have enemies, and not all religions, ideologies, and peoples are equal. Equal before the law; yes. But aside from that, equality is a fool's game.

Of course there is abuse, the cure for it is not idiocy or appeasement.

We have too many people voting. They don't have a clue. I would raise the minimum voting age to at least 35. Hopefully, by that time, just living would have taught some fundamental lessons. Simple things like working at a job, paying taxes. That those who work support everybody. That there is no such thing as a free lunch. That Santa Claus, the tooth fairy and the Easter bunny are myths.
